Do silicon photonics modules require temperature control

Home / Do silicon photonics modules require temperature control

In wavelength-sensitive applications, inevitable temperature fluctuations cause undesirable performance variations, requiring either active stabilization or on-chip compensation for practical deployment, according to Optica. A thin resistor routinely used in photonic devices can also act as a thermometer—a simple feature that could help integrated photonics reach its full potential. Integrated photonics has become a multi-billion-dollar industry, but it is feeling the heat—literally. IBM, Intel (Omni-Path), HP (Machine), Oracle (UNIC), Cisco, Mellanox, ST, NTT, NEC, Fujitsu (PECST), Huawei, ZTE.
